American Ella Durran has had the same plan for her life since she was 13: study at Oxford. At 24, she’s finally made it to England on a Rhodes Scholarship when she’s offered an unbelievable position in a rising political star’s presidential campaign. With the promise that she’ll work remotely and return to DC at the end of her Oxford year, she’s free to enjoy her Once in a Lifetime Experience. That is until a smart-mouthed local who is too quick with his tongue and his car ruins her shirt and her first day.

At 34, I'm reeling from a divorce. I don't want to party or try to move on. I just want to stay home and post a new recipe on my blog: Brynn's Dips and Balls. But my friends aren't having it. Get out there again, they say. It will be fun, they say. I'm still taking a hard pass. Free designer cocktails, they say. And that's a game-changer. Too bad my ex shows up with his new arm candy. That's when I lose my mind.

Tara Westover was 17 the first time she set foot in a classroom. Born to survivalists in the mountains of Idaho, she prepared for the end of the world by stockpiling home-canned peaches and sleeping with her "head-for-the-hills bag". In the summer she stewed herbs for her mother, a midwife and healer, and in the winter she salvaged in her father's junkyard. Her father forbade hospitals, so Tara never saw a doctor or nurse. Gashes and concussions, even burns from explosions, were all treated at home with herbalism.

Story

Fabulous collection

Many of these stories resonated with me I think the one that has stuck with me the most was My.Name.Matters performed by Amy Landon this story resonated strongly with me and even more because of what is going on the world right now (metoo).

I also loved The Marvin Gaye Cure narrated by Emily Sutton I totally understood where she was coming from and I’m sure many other women will see themselves in this story.

Every story was good these two are the ones that really stood out for me though they were all very good. I highly recommend this audiobook all the stories and the narrators that brought them to life were fabulous. I also liked the way the stories flowed the editing was very good.
